Phantasy Star Nova announced for PS Vita – features online and offline play

Phantasy Star! The classic RPG series that just keeps on charting a path into the future. Well, the news today is that this is going to be continuing with Phantasy Star Nova for the PS Vita. This title in particular is being billed as one that harkens back to Phantasy Star Online’s roots, having both an online and offline mode to play with, including four player cooperative, along with a huge enemy to fight against. This one’s being developed by Japanese RPG giant Tri-Ace, which is even more good news for fans of this series.

Here’s hoping this one truly manages to capture the spirit of the original Phantasy Star Online title – one of my favorite past titles, way back on the Dreamcast.
